AF Monograph Tours are a new series of day-long explorations of a single practice's built archive. This season looks at projects by Amin Taha, Peter Barber Architects, Heatherwick Studio, Richard Seifert, 6a & McMorran & Whitby. Led by London's leading architects, architectural historians and writers, the cycle tours will use a live audio broadcast to offer a socially-distanced way to experience the work of each practice.
Monograph 01: Amin Taha
Groupwork was established in 2003, formerly Amin Taha Architects. The studio is an employee ownership trust formed as a collective of talented architects and designers committed to the delivery of high quality, well-conceived and thoughtfully detailed buildings, arts centres and masterplans. The practice was shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize in 2017. Amin Taha will lead the tour, exploring the practice's work at Golden Lane, Upper Street, 15 Clerkenwell Close & Barrett's Grove.

As well as running the design and detailing of projects, Amin has taught, written and lectured on architecture, sat on the RIBA National and International Awards Jury and aids property related research groups and funds.
